Today is May 18 and that marks the date of the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens in Washington that killed 57 people (video). I don't have an elaborate post on the event - so if you want to find out more about this historic eruption, be sure to [...]

L'estinzione di Theropoda

Theropoda [2011-05-15 09:24:00]   recommend this post  (1724 visits)

In questi giorni sto riflettendo molto sul senso di ciò che faccio. Sia come ricercatore paleontologico sia come blogger. Temo di aver sbagliato tutto negli ultimi 10 anni. Ero ancorato a vecchi concetti, a valori superati.  Uno dei miei modelli [...]

  I’m having one of those weeks where a million things are all happening at once – no time to share anything resembling a coherent thought. Instead, here’s a pretty picture! I snapped this photo of Mount St. Helens out of the [...]

In advance of my next field trip to Israel (watch this space!), our highlighted fossil this week is the scleractinian coral Microsolena, a genus named by the French naturalist Jean Vincent Félix Lamouroux in 1821. The specimen above was collected [...]

MET Opera. Die Walkure. Mining mechanical failure.

I think mining [2011-05-15 05:55:22]   recommend this post  (1446 visits)

The first act of Wagner’s Walkure is, in my opinion, the best of his operas; the best scene; the best music; the best emotion; the best of the best.  Second best is the second act.  This is gut wrenching emotion and gut wrenching music.  [...]

In yesterday’s Tarbosaurus post I noted that the Institute housing the specimen may not be much longer for this world. This is a serious and deeply unfortunate turn of events with major consequences for dinosaur palaeontology that could last [...]

Giving the Earth a Cool Shower–Is Massive Irrigation Hiding the Greenhouse Effect Around the World?
